Monte Carlo:
Toyota president John Howett is confident that the team is in a strong position going into the Monte Carlo race this weekend. "Yes, Monaco will definitely I think be a positive race. It's challenging for the drivers with the qualifying system and it's always a risk for crash and damage. But I think in terms of competitiveness we're now in a strong position, probably third or fourth-best team," said Howett. Toyota's Formula One season has already thrown up a few challenges. Technical director Mike Gascoyne has departed, and drivers Ralf Schumacher and Jarno Trulli have amassed just seven points between them heading into Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix. But with a new car built in record time in Cologne, there's a belief things could be about to pick up. Production of the TF106B comes after construction was centralised and Howett is confident the move will pay off. (SNTV)Topics mentioned in this article
